What exquisit said above is the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard.
Your question is too broad. Do you have asthma? Do you smoke? How old are you? Do you have a history of lung problems?
Remember, coughing is the body's way of protecting your airrways. Your airways are detecting an irritant, and so you are coughing to get rid of it. It is not always a bad thing. But if you are coughing non-stop, you might have something in your airways. You might have nasal drip, sinus infection, ear infection, bronchitis, asthma attack? Do you have a fever? Chills? Runny nose?
If it is bothering you that much, you need to see a doctor. Based on your question, it is impossible for somebody on yahoo answers to help you with your cough. And there aren't really any home remedies to make a cough stop. Just to soothe it. Try turning on your shower to hot water, and closing the door for 15 minutes, and then go into the bathroom and sit there for 5-10 minutes and breathe. It might help soothe irritation in your throat.
***What the RN said below will not work for you. The reason it works for babies is because their feet are relatively close to their nose, where they will inhale it. Unless you sleep in a ball, it won't work.***
As far as home remedies go... try sucking on honey.

Where I live,border area, TB is present and this is a beginning sign of TB, that cough that won't go away, then phlem with blood.
A cough is your bodies way of either removing phlegm from the airways in the lungs. There is a place called the Carina located right at the bottom of the main bronchial tube before it splits into the right and left lungs. This spot is the main tickle zone. Or your throat and lungs could be so very irritated that you are coughing just because of that. If that is the case about the only thing that will stop it is prescription strength cough syrup containing codeine. The good news for you is that you can obtain it in most states by going to the pharmacy and asking for it. You will have to show a photo I.D. and sign for it. You will feel much better after you take it just don't drive or drink after you take it.
Take a couple Laxatives, then you'll be afraid to cough, laugh, sneeze, giggle, sniff, or cry.
You might try this, if you have it. Take some ( about a teaspoon) Vick's vaporub put it in a small pan over the stove low heat (cup of water,warm). After the vaporub melts in the water turn heat off. Get a towel put it over your head bend over the pan on the stove. Making a tent with your head in and breath deep. Also rub some of the vaporub on your chest and wear a Long sleeve sweater to bed. In the morning your chest should feel better. You might want to use an old small pan as it will be hard to clean.
Don't laugh. Sit upside-down on an incline with your face towards the floor and try to cough and hard as possible to get the phlegm out. Your position should look as if though you were doing girl's sit-ups at an angle with your feet slightly raised. Don't raise the feet too much, you don't want the phlegm shooting out your nose (laugh) This will only work if you have a moist cough. If you have a dry cough, then possibly you have some debris in the back of the throat or lung that is irritating so your body responds with a cough to try to eliminate it.
Ok this works for kids, so its worth a try. Put Vicks vapor rub on your feet, cover with socks. I know it sounds crazy, but its worth a try. RN
